The "Polska dla dzieci!" app
The “Polska dla dzieci!” app is an excellent tool for families with young children who are planning exciting holidays or longer trips, not necessarily limited to the summer season. It is a modern solution that allows you to plan attractions outside the home, find local places with an offer dedicated to the youngest and, if necessary, find convenient accommodation or a pleasant restaurant for the whole family.
What can be found in the application “Polska dla dzieci”?
The app offers a wide selection of suggestions for attractions for children available throughout Poland, which is extremely easy to navigate. In addition to a variety of places worth visiting, the app provides information on restaurants and events that focus on entertainment for families with young children. If we are going on a longer trip outside our place of residence, “Polska dla dzieci!” helps to find a suitable place to stay.
Each location in the app is briefly described and includes a summary of available amenities and other relevant information, especially related to the needs of children. Contact numbers and reviews from other users are also available, allowing you to carefully consider your choice of attraction.
When using the app, attractions can be conveniently browsed based on their location, region, province or type of venue. Attributes to facilitate your search include categories such as:
- the age of the children for whom the place is intended,
- the availability of facilities such as changing tables, feeding areas, playgrounds, children’s corners, highchairs, child-friendly toilets, and much more,
- the theme of the attraction,
- availability for the whole day, even in bad weather, pet-friendliness and workshop offerings.
The app also offers the option to create your own map of favourite places, add new locations for free and plan routes to selected attractions using your smartphone’s navigation. This makes “Polska dla dzieci!” a versatile tool for planning amazing adventures with the little ones.

The 28th edition of TT Warsaw is behind us!
The 28th edition of TT Warsaw is behind us!
Thank you for the record turnout during this year’s TT Warsaw! This edition includes as many as 247 exhibitors and 22,000 travel enthusiasts who decided to get acquainted with the fair offer.
We are pleased with the presence of distinguished guests during the official opening, including representatives of the Ministry of Sport and Tourism, the Polish Chamber of Tourism, the Polish Tourist Organization, the Embassy of Bulgaria and numerous representatives of embassies, of whom as many as 50 decided to prepare stands promoting the tourist offer of a given country.
At the opening, we also saw a dance inspired by the Bulgarian folklore of the Iglika group, dances of groups from Romania and Vietnam. On the first day, awards of the Polish Tourist Organization were also presented and we were presented with a number of interesting issues in the field of children and youth tourism – in cooperation with the Polish Chamber of Tourism.
For three days, regions and countries were promoting themselves – we invite you to see the photo gallery from the Fair!
The travelers’ festival on Saturday enjoyed great interest among visitors.
From the first appearance of the bloggers and authors of the best-selling travel books By Bus Through the World – Oli and Karol – the seats were filled to the last chair!
We learned how to distinguish Baribal from Grizzle in Alaska (but you better not check it out on your own!), why Turkish coffee is no longer drunk in Turkey and from the later workshops with Projekt Fotografia – how to take better photos from a trip both with a phone and professional photo/video equipment.
The speech of Mr. Wojtek Cejrowski gathered longtime fans of his travel programs as well as novices interested in who is this man who walks barefoot through the Fair in November? You could take a commemorative photo with Mr. Cejrowski and get an autograph in a book… for a small fee in the form of a prayer.
Loud screams of children: “Neeeeelaaaa!” called the youngest of the travelers of the Travelers Festival to the stage. Nela talked about her travels, about the animals she encountered and revealed what projects she would be working on in the near future.
Adam Bielecki talked about the beginnings of his Alpine path, how to sleep at an altitude where some helicopters no longer fly and how to survive by taking only the necessary equipment to the mountains. We got to know several patents on how not to frostbite fingers and toes in the cold; an endless forest of hands and questions from the audience prove that the magic of the mountains still captivates daredevils from the lowlands.
Leaders of expeditions from Solists Adventure Club also talked about their mountain challenges, as well as about other directions that can become your life adventures already in 2023!
We have nothing else to do but congratulate our business partners on making new contacts and invite you on a further journey together with Ptak Warsaw Expo.
Endless business talks interspersed with memories and travel plans made these three extremely intense fair days – we invite you next year for more!

"PodróżoVanie" is Kasia and Lukasz
– a close-knit couple who have been living on the road for four years in a van they built themselves. At the beginning of their journey together, they followed a pattern quite familiar in the world of twentysomethings: they went abroad, developed careers, lived in a large and comfortable house and travelled in their free time. However, although they had a lot, there was still something missing, they did not feel fully happy. Deep down, they sensed that life had more to offer them than the pursuit of money or career advancement. In September 2017, they encountered the term ‘van life’ for the first time, and the deeper they went into the subject, the stronger they felt they had to experience first-hand what it was like to live on the road.
As they felt, so they did and a month later, PodróżoVanie was born. The decision was followed by a period of intensive reconstruction – first of their own life abroad, and then, on their return to Poland, of the car they had bought and turned it into a home. With their own efforts, they turned a large van, a Volkswagen LT35, into a home on wheels in just a few months. In May 2018, they settled in it permanently and started a new chapter, living on the road and celebrating freedom.
Since then, they have visited 36 countries, touring the length and breadth of Europe and a slice of Asia. Along the way, they have crossed the Arctic Circle, waved to Africa from the edge of Gibraltar, nearly lost their lives in the Alps, spent one of their first lockdowns on a lake in Portugal and their last in Turkey. They recount these and many other adventures in short vlogs published on YouTube and in recently published books, written on the journey by Kasia: ‘The Great Carriage’ and ‘The Road’.
Their channel features all sorts of advice on van life, car and campervan travel. The total number of views of their videos to date is more than 23 million and the number of regular subscribers is more than 125,000.
